The Lincoln Middle School Jazz Bands took first place at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival - Thursday, February 25.

This is the first time in the history of Lincoln Middle School that the Jazz Bands have been recognized with a first place trophy at this festival. The performances throughout the day were exceptional and the judges were quoted as saying “Loved these programs and the choice of music was spot on. Outstanding Job!” and “Awesome bands who entertained us thoroughly!”

Jazz Band II was asked to perform on the afternoon concert on the large stage in the Kibbie Dome in front of hundreds of students from across the northwest and sounded amazing.

If you happen to see the 55+ people from these ensembles please let them know that they are truly AWESOME!!!
